DHS Warns Americans That Dropping COVID Restrictions Might Lead To ‘Acts Of Violence’ By ‘Extremists’
Daily Caller ^

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned Americans on Monday that as COVID-19 restrictions are dropped, there is an increased risk for “acts of violence” such as mass shootings.

“The United States Remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several actors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories,” the DHS warned.

“As COVID-19 restrictions continue to decrease nationwide, increased access to commercial and government facilities and the rising number of mass gatherings could provide increased opportunities for individuals looking to commit acts of violence to do so, often with little or no warning,” the bulletin says.

“Meanwhile. COVID-19 mitigation measures – particularly COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates – have been used by domestic violent extremists to justify violence since 2020 and could continue to inspire these extremists to target government, healthcare, and academic institutions that they associate with those measures,” it continues.

The DHS also warned that some extremists are “spreading false and misleading narratives about 5G cellular technology.” (RELATED: New York Rep. Maloney Says Government Is Ready ‘To Give People Their Lives Back,’ Thanks Biden)

Several blue states recently announced the end of certain coronavirus restrictions as cases fall. New Jersey announced the end of its mask mandate for school children, while New York is slated to end its indoor mask mandate Wednesday.

The DHS warned in August that individuals opposed to COVID-19 related restrictions could pose a terrorist threat, warning the risk of attacks were “exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions.”

Another warning from the government.

If it happens, count on it being orchestrated by the left using blm or antifa.

So usually they’re calling the normals extremists. Are they saying that those people are so unhinged that if you give them what they want they’ll snap, but continuing to pointlessly tyrannize them will keep them calm??? Or are they accidentally admitting that leftard busybody control freak Karens are more likely to become real terrorists?

Wtaf ? Why use this word ?

Because commie speak. "Perception is reality." Basically, lie your ass off because if enough people believe it then it's not a lie. Very Goebbels/George Costanza of them.

The perceived government restrictions were just part of our overactive imagination.

I guess that means they weren’t real and we can ignore them now.

Stupid state run scams on the fundamental rights of a population have consequences. Particularly when those scams were schemes of political operators seeking "fundamental changes" to our freedoms to travel, associate, speak freely, educate our children, work, and assemble.

Bad idea.

DHS needs to be shut down, abolished. They have nothing useful to say at this point.

Maybe they (the DHS & FIB) need to keep the mask thing going so we can't recognize who it is doing all the violence....

The only “acts of violence” I’m aware of are those caused by the “fine people” at the FBI posing as conservatives.

That institution needs to be torn down to the studs, then throw away the studs.

So, DHS is looking for another excuse to lock everyone down — for their own good, of course — to keep them away from potential violence — such as gangs and terrorists coming in at the wide open southern border, where hordes of illegals have come across (estimates of 2 million last year), etc. ...

It will probably also trigger climate change.

Apparently DHS thinks 1984 is an instruction manual.

The so-called Department of Homeland Security issues conspiracy theories, outright lies, and spreads hoaxes on a daily basis, Mayorkass The Liar should be prosecuted for what he has done as well as for what he hasn’t done.

The free states have had almost no restrictions for quite some time now. We’re doing just fine, except that we’d like to see the federal BS gone, like mandatory masking in airports and on planes.

Is the useless DHS worried that the leftists in the blue states can’t handle freedom and will be inclined to act out? 🤔
